And as I do every year, I’ll be watching them all in a day. ( Available on: various platforms and VOD, now streaming) - Yvonne Villarreal ‘Friends’įor me, it isn’t really turkey time until Rachel makes a shepherd’s pie trifle, Phoebe sneaks in a dog and Brad Pitt yells, “Screw it, bring on the yams!” This show remains supreme when it comes to Thanksgiving-themed episodes, with iconic scenes sealed forever in my memory: Monica shimmying with a turkey on her head, Chandler apologizing all day from a box, Joey eating an entire bird while wearing Phoebe’s maternity pants. The journey begins with “You’ve Got Mail” on Thanksgiving morning - nothing beats toiling away in the kitchen with my mom while listening to Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (aka Shopgirl and NY152) share pleasantries about things like bouquets of sharpened pencils and “The Godfather.” From there, through Friday evening, it’s a comfy, mostly blanket-wrapped marathon of “Sleepless in Seattle,” “The Holiday,” “It’s Complicated,” “Heartburn,” “Baby Boom,” “Father of the Bride” (the sequel too!) and, naturally, “When Harry Met Sally” - paced to allow for plenty of daydreaming through Etsy and Instagram for ways to emulate the spaces of Kathleen Kelly and the like.
While others lean into the joys of festive Starbucks cups and the early onslaught of holiday movies, for me, this week kicks off that special time of year when I curl up with some cozy classics from Nancy Meyers and Nora Ephron.
